No Exit Seen From Thailand’s Very un-Thai Crisis
Loading ...BANGKOK — Whether keeping rapacious colonial powers at bay, averting political violence or settling family squabbles, Thais have earned a reputation for deft diplomacy, thwarting confrontation and achieving compromise, or as they proudly say, “bending with the wind like bamboo.”
